DonnaF interesting! Haven’t tried the heel lift but it may indeed help.

Angie thx for the details! Your footwear is beautiful though I prefer a chunkier look for myself. But I admire your commitment to foot comfort AND hood looks.

Zaeobi, totally agree about being “ready to run” in this crazy world….

Thanks, Jessikams! Love you in a chunkier shoe.

If I can ever help you with footwear challenges and solutions - shout. Between my clientele and my own demanding feet, I have a lot of experience

oh god, donate and don't look back. Both because foot discomfort is the worst, and also because I'm sure you're no stranger to the phenomenon of when a wardrobe item is chef's-kiss-perfection and then you move to a new place and suddenly you feel just totally *off*. Time will pass, and your taste will evolve, and you will find new shoes that you're excited about, that suit your next chapter, and that hopefully don't pinch all over!
